JUBA – South Sudan’s main armed opposition commander General Simon Gatwech  Dual’s forces have declared what they call end of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny’s presence in northern Upper Nile state following deadly clashes that the controversial opposition commander claimed to have resulted in the killing of five opposition commanders allied to Machar.

In a statement on Monday evening, Brig. Gen. William Gatjiath Deng, the spokesman of the SPLA-IO allied to Gen. Gatwech, said renewed fighting escalated when forces allied to Machar made a second attempt to capture Magenis which triggered the fierce fighting that resulted in the killing of at least 50 soldiers on both sides including five senior officers allied to Machar.

“Today this morning at around 5:00AM, East African Time, heavy fighting was on, between the forces loyal to the First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, and the forces under the command of 1st/Lt General Simon Gatwech Dual, at Magenis,” Gen. Gatjiath said in the statement extended to Sudans Post.

“The battle lasted for (6) hours and later on, led to the fall of the three bases, “Amut, Korwai and Kola respectively. The deadly battle claimed many lives including the (5) generals out of junior officers, NCOs, and men at the side of the enemy,” he added.

The outspoken opposition officer further said one military vehicle with Zuu-23, one 14.5 machines guns, two recoils, one BM-12, one Zuu-23, two 82MM, six 12.7, 34 PKM and AK-47 were captured during the fighting.

“Now as I am writing the report, the frustrated forces loyal to the First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar have lost power and are in the verge of surrendering to a government military base at ‘Kuek’ which lies at the western bank of the Nile,” he said.

Gatjiath added that “The fighting marks the end of Dr. Riek Machar’s present in the Northern Upper Nile once, and for all.”

“The leadership of the SPLA (IO) under the command of the 1st Lt General Simon Gatwech Dual advises the government to stop Dr. Riek Machar’s political maneuver that aims to kill innocents during the peace time, while himself, and his cohorts are enjoying in expense of others.”

In our Nile and plains, a Nuer ke nyantoc piece low life, a cloned so-called so-called Arabs of North Sudan, Abeshes (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, Bantuses, Nigerians, gulf Arab states of Saudi Arabia, their evil juus (so-called israelis attack dogs; our Nuers and their backers even brags, they are the evil juus (so-called israelis) in Africa fighting the whole Africa??? Oh yeah?!!, I don’t know what wretches smoke? They called themselves *Ethiopians*. Ah Ah Ah? Our Gambella region is an Anyuaks country of the Sudan and Egypt country. The so-called Abesh (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes, don’t have anything in our Gambella region. Pachalla, Jokou, Panyindu, Gillo, Dimmo, Raat one and Raat two (lightening), (Jebel,Boma) Pi Bor, our Nuers ke nyantoc only own *Itang, Pilpam and Tharpam*. Jebel Bongo, mighty SPLM/A training centres, have have nothing to do with our Nuers ke Nyantoc, Abeshas (so-called ethiopia) terrorist. The Nile is control by the owners. We cannot live sides by sides, with these wretches. Where is Mr. Abiy Ahmed, Benjamin Netanyahu (his evil juus so-called israelis attack dogs and Zionists, Abdalla Hamdok, so-called prime minister of our cloned so-called Arabs of North Sudan, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama (Nobel peace winner)?, Abiy Ahmed, lowly educated piece of shit?, Mr. Tutu? So-called arch bishop of Capetown?, Where is Mr. Nelson Mandela? Where is queen Victoria? Mr. Riek Machar we want *a report from him, if he thinks and Nuer community think, they are anything, on this planet earth* Pretoria in South Africa, if Nuers think, they are anything, then get your rubbish from South Africa, Kenya, here in South Sudan and take your rubbishes to Western Australia. There will be no *Perth, Pine gap, Esperance city of West Australia ,Freemantle, Alice Spring, Broom, Christmas Island, Darwin city (Charles Darwin—–survivable for the fittest) and the top end babies countries going to survive our bombings, then we will called God’s children*. If you have anything at all in South Africa, then take it West Australia. Convicts of Australia are not our equals. And they are not our real enemies.

    Commonwealths, bullied me sometime ago in Australia. They are lowly educated pieces of trashes. I was bullied by their so-called lowly educated pieces of sewer at the university of NSW. To go and be a teacher in ‘Northern Territory, Northern Territory, Australia’. It it didn’t in Australia, it started in at the McGill University, Montreal’ I am not Australian citizen, Indigenous of Canadian, I went and for for them. Yukon, British Columbia, Winnipeg, two Dakotas; South Dakota, North Dakota, Minneapolis, Alaska, Oregon, the indigenous people of Canadians, think they are countries and their people have been bullied by criminals. That is 100% true. Authorities in Canada allow indigenous Whales. Wales, where almost ‘WIPED OUT OF MAP on this planet earth by Europeans, because of OIL’ The Whales, know oceans, probably they are very at *Navigation, next door to Canada—-there is so-called *Greenland* there is nothing there. Yeah?!! The indigenous inuits and Canada and Alaska and Finland and Russians own Greenland, all the Nordic countries minus, the US, the UK. In Canada, wolves are there in the US, the wolves are there. In Canada, there are some low lives some lives who think, wolves shouldn’t be killed, but the farmers think otherwise The Europeans killed their damned animals, but they always try to project themselves over other people and their countries.

    Saudi Arabia, a dry bone country. where are the animals there *in a dry bone country*, Yeah, they are the most civilized human beings, Abeshas (so-called ethiopians), prostitutes, evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, There will be second Auschwitz and Holocaust. There will be no white men/women on this planets, Suez Canal will closed and bombing to nothing by me. eastern Jerusalem international airport will *a parking lot, Ben-Guron international airports in Tel Aviv, will will be a parking lot, Bole international airport in Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute, will be parking lot, Jomo Kenyatta international airport in Nairobi, will be parking lot. Moi International airport in Mombasa, will be a parking lot, Wilson airport, will be a parking lot, Embakass airport will be parking lot. Entebbe International Airport. Lake Victoria—-. If the Bantuses and allies are going to survive our *bombings, then we will called their children (totos), and we will be their slaves for lives*>>>

    There are while wild dog here in Nilotic plains and valleys. *We have gɔl*, they can can follow their thiaŋ (tia ŋ) antelope mïïr (Giraffes) or even akɔn (elephant) for days or a weeks, but if the antelope join the other antelopes, there is nothing they (gɔls/wild dogs/leopards/lions) can do, they can just wait if their ‘targets is going to die and then feast on it.’ And get away with it.
